How do I enable or disable online bookings?

Online bookings are optional: you can use your website as a showcase and enable bookings when you are ready.

Updated 05 Oct 2026

In Settings › Bookings › Online bookings you can enable or disable online booking acceptance. When it is disabled, your website remains published, but the booking form is not shown and the public booking address goes back to the website.

Header buttons, sections and menus can also point to an informational page, the client portal or another address. This lets you have a complete website even if you do not want to accept online bookings.

What is configured on the Bookings screen? It is the control panel for how your client books: times, cancellation, prices and legal texts; the details you ask for live in Booking form. How do I change how often times are offered or the notice needed to book? In Settings › Bookings › Online bookings: slot interval, minimum notice, maximum days ahead and the status new appointments get. Why are no available slots showing on the booking page? Usually a service, staff member, schedule or advance booking rule is missing. How do I change my opening hours? Weekly hours are in Settings › Business › Hours; each staff member and each service can have their own, and exceptions go in Holidays. How do I manage holidays, closures or special hours? Use Holidays (Settings › Business) to close specific days or define special shifts without changing the whole week. How do I change the price, duration or photo of a service? In Services, editing the service. Changes apply to new appointments; they do not rewrite booked ones.
